Zoraxin 200mg/5ml Suspension 120ml

Zoraxin 200mg/5ml Suspension is an oral antiviral medicine from the purine nucleoside analogue class, with acyclovir (aciclovir) as its active ingredient. It's formulated as a liquid suspension, which makes it a practical option for children or anyone who finds tablets difficult to swallow. Like most antivirals, it can cause side effects in some people, with nausea, headache, diarrhoea, and general tiredness being among the more commonly reported ones. Because acyclovir dosing depends heavily on age, weight, and kidney function, this is a Prescription Only Medicine, so it's important to take it exactly as your doctor has directed rather than adjusting the amount yourself. If you're curious about how it fits into your treatment plan, your doctor or pharmacist is always the best person to walk you through it.

Dosage is individualised by your doctor based on age, body weight, and the condition being treated, and typically involves multiple doses spread across the day for a set number of days. Always follow the exact schedule and duration on your prescription label rather than a generic guideline.

• Nausea or vomiting
• Diarrhoea or abdominal discomfort
• Headache
• Dizziness
• Fatigue
• Skin rash
• Loss of appetite
• Rarely, changes in kidney function markers

Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the bottle tightly closed, out of reach and sight of children, and avoid storing it in the bathroom or near the kitchen sink.

• Always shake the bottle well before measuring a dose
• Use the provided oral syringe, not a kitchen spoon, for accuracy
• Stay well hydrated throughout the course of treatment
• Complete the full course even if symptoms improve early
• Note the "use by" date once the bottle is opened
• Keep refrigeration/storage instructions from your pharmacist in mind, as some suspensions require cool storage after reconstitution

Shake the bottle well before each use, then measure the dose accurately using the oral syringe or measuring cup provided rather than a household spoon. It's generally taken at evenly spaced intervals through the day and night as prescribed, and it helps to drink plenty of water while on treatment to support your kidneys.

Unopened, Zoraxin Suspension is generally stable for up to 2–3 years from the date of manufacture when stored correctly; once reconstituted or opened, most acyclovir suspensions should be used within the period stated on the label (commonly around 2–4 weeks). Always check the expiry date printed on the bottle and carton.

Acyclovir (aciclovir) 200mg per 5ml — a guanosine analogue antiviral that works by inhibiting viral DNA polymerase, slowing the replication of herpes-family viruses.

Not to be used in individuals with a known hypersensitivity to acyclovir, valacyclovir, or any of the excipients in the suspension. It should be used with caution and under close medical supervision in people with pre-existing kidney impairment or dehydration.

Acyclovir levels may be affected when taken alongside probenecid or cimetidine, and combining it with other nephrotoxic medicines may increase the risk of kidney-related side effects. It can generally be taken with or without food; always disclose all medicines and supplements you're taking to your doctor or pharmacist.
